plenum, I don't think that rejection is part of the STS approach to catalyst. I think that rejection is a confused approach by those who are afraid of what the catalyst reveals. The STS entity must face the catalyst just as anyone else. The major difference is how it is integrated into the self. I'll use catalyst of the mind as an example.
Whereas the STO entity will take hold of the catalyst and seek to know and love it, the STS entity must similarly take hold of the catalyst but seek to control it, putting it in the place deemed appropriate by the entity. STS is a path of seeing the entire panorama of one's experience as a canvas which will receive the Creation of the entity. Centrally controlled "communist" regimes like Soviet Russia and China, for example, are very similar to the approach of the STS entity to its experience. Nothing is rejected outright unless the entity is foolish; rather, it is subordinated. For example, if an STS entity finds itself faced with the mental catalyst of bloodlust, it will not reject the catalyst; rather, it will simply stifle the emotion and then allow it to bust forth at a moment deemed appropriate. In doing so, the bloodlust becomes no longer a habit that undermines the STS entity's agenda, and is transformed into a weapon which strikes awe into those who watch the entity's wrath.
